As for requiring you to only use their stuff, pretty sure they cannot do that. I would contact your insurance company, if you are using one.

Its called a upsale the more upsales they do before/during/after the more money they make.
Big ole fat bonus checks coming there way in commission for allllll the upsales they scare into people buying.
Its pretty shady and a downside to having a system where you pay for everything.
Don’t let the fear make you buy from them they are medical professionals they know that telling you you can ONLY have what they provide has a underlying tone of “or else you will fail and if you ever do gain weight or not lose enough one time we will blame it on this and push harder”
A scare tactic nothing more.
What if you hate the taste of what they sell or can’t tolerate it?
Don’t be bullied into purchasing from them go along with it say yes yes then just don’t say you changed your mind as you researched it and found something you find more palatable.

Hi everyone! I started my pre op diet yesterday. I also had my class. I got my Vitamins and shakes and was told that I have to take the vitamins forever and have to get the vitamins from them. They are 25.00 a month. My question is, why would I have to get my vitamins from them? My husband and I are not to happy about that. Also I was told I can't have Atkins Protein Shakes and I have to have theirs! My husband did comparisons and the same ingredients are in each! Is anyone else going through this?

Who's your surgeon? I was told the same thing by my surgeon's office as well.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
